I mentioned last Friday how Kirsten Powers (pictured left), a regular contributor to FOX News and a highly respected journalist, had the nerve to write a column in USA Today detailing the horrific case of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.His trial, which is now in its fifth week, had, up until that point, earned surprisingly little attention from the mainstream news media, despite the fact that the details of the case are so shocking and so horrifying that they deserve to be a major national news story.
If the Supreme Court Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage…
This was the question posed to me by the editors of Christianity Today recently:
If the Supreme Court legalizes same-sex marriage, what next?
Hypothetical questions are not always productive, but in this case, I was privileged to participate in the panel, which featured answers from two other individuals. The panel of three also included Elodie Ballantine Emig, instructor of Greek at Denver Seminary and Timothy Dalrymple, managing editor at Patheos.com.

Why the Media Blackout Over the Gosnell Trial?
Yesterday’s USA Today ran a piece by Kirsten Powers, a columnist and political commentator, that questioned why the trial of Kermit Gosnell isn’t making front page news.
That’s a good question.
Mr. Gosnell is an abortionist who allegedly performed illegal and horrific late-term “abortions” in deplorable conditions that, in addition to killing the babies, also cost at least one women her life. The grand jury report can be accessed here.
I’m putting the word abortion in quotes because Mr.
Dare to Dream Again
“When it comes to a professional career, what percentage of people do you think are doing what they really want to do?”
A colleague of mine recently posed that question to Kurt Warner, the former NFL quarterback and host of a new reality show titled “The Moment.”
What would you guess was his answer?
According to Kurt, it’s between 25 and 30 percent. Put another way, nearly three-quarters of Americans would rather be doing something else for a living.

A Football Video that Will Give You Goosebumps
April 22, 2011 was an ordinary day for Andy and Bri Hoffman until they found their five-year-old son, Jack, sitting nearly comatose in their kitchen. He was rushed to the hospital and eventually diagnosed with pediatric cancer.
Months of treatment followed along with many tears and sleepless nights.
“It just tipped our life upside down,” Andy’s father told the USA Today.
But through a series of conversations and connections little Jack was given an opportunity to meet some of his heroes on his favorite football team: the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Seemingly Divine Occurrences on Set of THE BIBLE
Karla Dial is our talented editor of Citizen Magazine. In this month’s issue she penned a wonderful profile piece on the History Channel’s epic miniseries The Bible. Since its debut on March 3rd, over 68 million people have tuned in to watch this magnificent dramatization of God’s Word. Many of them have been people curious about Christianity. I hope they (and you!) will continue to watch this coming Sunday.
Because I’m so eager to encourage people to watch, I want to share with you a brief excerpt from Karla’s cover story in Citizen about the show.
The Same-Sex Marriage Debate Around the World
France. Puerto Rico. Scotland. What do these nations have in common?
All of them have committed active marriage supporters who are working hard to preserve the traditional one-man, one-woman definition of marriage.
There are times when activists who favor the redefinition of marriage seem to suggest that America is simply behind the times when compared to the rest of the world.
But the facts suggest otherwise.
This past January more than 300,000 people took to Paris to protest the French president’s plan to legalize same-sex marriage.
VIDEO: Jesus Comes to the History Channel
“Jesus is coming!”
This weekend, on television, that is.
So says Roma Downey, the co-executive producer of History Channel’s The Bible. “He’s the ‘leading man’ of the Bible’s grand story of God’s love for us, and he makes his entrance this week.”
She sent me a clip earlier today of Sunday’s episode and I wanted to share it with you here:
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Is the U.S. Doing Enough to Help Get this Pastor Out of Jail?
Pastor Saeed Abedini (photo courtesy of ACLJ) is a United States citizen currently serving an 8-year prison sentence in Iran. Reports indicate that he’s been repeatedly tortured and is at great risk of being killed.
His crime?
Telling people about Jesus during annual trips to the country.
The Iranian government has charged Pastor Saeed with “endangering national security” but the fact of the matter is that he’s helping underground churches as well as building orphanages for children.
